Instagram is testing screenshot alerts for stories

15/02/2018

But unlike Snapchat, which notifies people when followers take screenshots, Instagram has allowed you to freely screenshot stories without any notifications. There is hope: if people stop watching stories because they can't creep on others, Instagram could cancel the new notifications before they even roll it out to everyone. We have reached out to Instagram for comment on whether this feature will eventually be rolled out to all users.

When a viewer takes a screenshot of a person's story, it will notify the person that posted the story that a screenshot has been taken and by who.

According to screenshots shared on Twitter from users who are in the testing group, a camera shutter icon will appear next to the name of someone screenshotted that story. This will help identify the one who published a story to correctly identify the person who took a screenshot.

Of course, this is not good news for the people who switched from Snapchat to Instagram Stories only to avoid being caught when screen grabbing content. If you thought this was the end of it then you're wrong.

If someone screenshots someone else's story, the owner of the account will get a notification. What, by grassing us up if we want to take a screenshot?

When a device is on airplane mode, it disable any WiFi or Bluetooth signals from being transmitted.

And with that, Instagram further aligns itself with the service Snapchat offers, though in this case, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Both of the features are still rolling out and there's a chance that you might not have got them yet. Another workaround is for users to download Stories directly from the web version of Instagram.
